Just visual sharing, on Bali keris holders from some museums in Indonesia. The best keris holder I've seen is a kerajaan Gelgel's keris holder at Museum Gajah (second picture below). But private museum D'Topeng in Sanur, Bali, also has a magnificent collection (picture below) of a cute bali keris holder too...

Bali keris holder at Museum Gajah, Jakarta (the National Museum of Jakarta) is one of the best keris holder I've seen. According to museum sources, this beautiful Anoman motif keris holder came from kerajaan Gelgel, Klungkung era of XV century...

A new private museum, Marco. It is located on the 2nd floor of "D'Topeng Restaurant", Jalan Setiabudi No 10, Simpang Siur, Badung, Bali (you may ask the taxi driver, "D'Topeng Restaurant, Sanur" at Jalan Setiabudi). The formal name is "D'Topeng Kingdom Museum"....
If you don't mind, Mr Moderator -- Rick and David -- I would like to to share the link to the museum's site. http://www.dtopengkingdommuseum.com/v2/ |

Another mystery tour, this time to Amsterdam. An old and beautiful -- if not the most -- keris holder from the collection of Tropen Museum, Amsterdam. Depicted who?

Here is one of my keris holders: Hanuman again !
I think it is a rather recent manufacture, now it has a big crack in the base. Forget the keris. It has nothing to do with Bali. ![]() |

Hanuman, or Anoman, always has white fur, Another human-ape of Ramayana epic, is Anila with violet fur, and Anggada with red fur. In Ramayana, Anoman is the son of Dewi Anjani (name of a goddess), and Batara Guru (the highest god in wayang world). Anila is the son of Batara Narada (another god in wayang), and Anggada is the son of Sugriwa (king of Apes in Gua Kiskenda) with Dewi Tara (a goddess)...

I think Gio's kerisholder might be Twalen, the Balinese version of Semar.
I know he is mentioned in a book on Semar by Ruud Greve, can't find it right know unfortunately. |

Thank you Willem, yes, I like it as well, good old Bali carving. You are correct by your assumption but I really don't know what. Maybe tombaks? ![]() Regards, Detlef |

Well, from what i know,
basicly: Twalen is black, his sarong is black and white, Petruk has green in his colorscheme and facial hair. but he normally also has a bigger nose,so it could also be Delem, my opinion its not Twalen or Merdah. Gio's Hanuman has more features that could make it Twalen. but this is my personal opinion, i could be wrong. And i base myself on the Bali-Singaraja versions.
